Whether for a special occasion or “just because,” tonight might be a great night to surprise that love of your life. A sweet, romantic dinner for two can be the start of a beautiful evening of cuddling or canoodling with your partner. To get things going, here are a couple recipes anyone can cook in no time and with little fuss. There are also some tips to further set the mood.
Leave the dishes for later because you might be … busy.

Here are some other things to keep in mind to complement that secy, scrumptious meal.

Make it Fancy
That special china you have that rarely gets used? This is the perfect time to roll it out and use those expensive plates, real silver, and elegant stemware. Set the table with a special-occasion linen tablecloth and cloth napkins. Instead of putting that tub of butter on the table, use a small butter dish and knife. Let the setting represent the mood you’re trying to set for your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife.

Add Some Melodious Music
Whether your taste is Belafonte, Beatles, Brahms, or Bieber, play the music that means something to you, your partner or both of you. It doesn’t need to be “Let’s Get It On,” to set a romantic mood (though that song works anywhere and anytime!). Adding the right music, whether country, classical or something in between, stimulates the aural senses.

Mood Lighting
If ever there were a time to use those tall sexy candles you never have used, this is the time. Flickering candlelight, dripping wax, and the play of light and dark add visual stimulation that will dazzle your date.
